The Northfleet North councillor said she had led a positive campaign and had a great reaction on the doorstop.

Most conversations she said had been about the NHS and "underfunded schools".

She added: "Only about 5% of conversations have been about Brexit."

Labour's candidate said it had been "a really short campaign" and had been "quite different" compared to local elections.

The scientist admitted it had not always been easy to sell parts of her parties' manifesto as "positive".
